2005 Ford Crown Victoria P-71 Police Interceptor **104K HIGHWAY MILES** This was mainly a HIGHWAY CRUISER
**FRONT BUMPER AND ALL LIGHTS NOT INCLUDED UNLESS YOU PURCHASE THEM AFTER THE SALE** I will keep the bumper on until the car is SOLD, and you contact me to keep it on, otherwise it's being removed and sold separately.
READ THE ENTIRE POST
If this car doesn't sell right now, I'm completely cleaning it up and purchasing a seat removing all wiring, equipment etc. I know it looks like shit, I just bought, paid good money for it, and threw it up here for an offer. So if it doesn't sell I'm going all out and fixing the entire car up to get more money out of it. As simple as that. I will spend the $1,400 to repaint it, vinyl/cloth rear seat, rear door panels, add center console, tires, etc. If you want a low mileage P-71, now is the time to take one, because when I fix this P-71 up for the $1400 it needs just to look "pretty and presentable", I'm going to be asking $6,500+. It doesn't necessarily need it, I'm not hurting for money or time, it will require alot of my time and labor, but its up to you if you want to do it yourself on your own schedule and own cost. Again, if it doesn't sell now I'm going all out with it and re-selling it as one of the cleanest low mileage P-71's on here. New center caps, sparkling clean engine bay and all. It will look brand new.
2005 Police Interceptor P-71 package Crown Victoria Interceptor. VIN # confirms it is a P-71. Also used as an Indiana State Trooper Meth Suppression Unit undercover raid car. This car was active.
Here's the deal on the car, was an Indiana State Trooper Highway Cruiser in East Chicago, which is in Indiana, I could go on and on about the power of the car, but I'm sure if you're looking at this post you know the car will break the tires loose at 30mph, and you have to be easy on the gas when accelerating from a dead stop or you're going to sit in one spot roasting the tires. This engine is the Corvette motor of Ford. Features Forged internals instead of Cast, and higher compression. Also has an Oil Cooler for high abuse RPM use.
More about the P-71 Body/Drivetrain THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS THE OPTIONAL LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL. Also, 2005 was the last year for the "Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite Driveshaft" which reassured safe speed over 150mph. They went straight aluminum on the 2006+ to save costs, and had a limiter on the car to 125mph. This car does not have a limiter.
The rear-end is 3:27:1, the suspension is very stiff. The transmission has modified shift points compared to regular Crown Victoria's. It is very aggressive, aggressive as in it shifts from a high RPM to a slightly lower, but higher RPM when you engage the accelerator heavily. In other words, it will redline at 5,500RPM, and only drop back down to 3,800RPM to keep your accelerating speed very high.
Now on to this particular car..
This car was active. It has a plastic rear seat, at THIS particular time it has all the wiring, brackets etc in the car. Painted over with black industrial spray paint by the city of East Chicago/Auctioneer's at the state auction. The stickers are still readable, just all black. Right now, it looks presentable from 25 feet away.
The good:
Low mileage P-71 forged internal high compression engine in very good working order
104K HIGHWAY MILES. This car may have been seen by YOU on the Indiana Interstate's in East Chicago.
Suspension is good
Transmission is good
Limited Slip Differential(also known as Posi-Trac) 3:27:1 gearing
Front seats in very good condition
Dash is in good condition, mainly used brackets to hold and mount equipment so there aren't dozens of holes. The wiring was ran under the dash.
Power Steering pump good
Oil cooler working
Radiator good
All engine internals good
**NO RUST AROUND WHEEL WELL OR UNDER ANY DOORS**
Headlights and Taillights working, there are NO shorts in the wiring
Huge trunk
Exhaust system is in very good condition
**NO LEAKS ANYWHERE INSIDE** Everything is plugged
**NO LEAKS FROM ENGINE OR TRANS OR RADIATOR**
Windows work
Everyone moves out of the way quickly when you're laying down the left lane of the interstate
Still gets 18mpg
Doesn't really need a tune-up
The Bad, not going to bullshit here:
Needs Tires
Needs Alignment
Needs Driver-side Mirror replacement
Needs Rear Seat unless you don't really care about the plastic rear seat
Needs Rear Intererior Door Panels unless you don't really care
Needs SEAT BELTS
Needs AC Fixed
Needs dash light replaced
Needs Re-Paint (if you're as picky as me) Maaco has $500 specials all day long for sanding and re-paint. Black is cheap.
Has small weatherstripping holes
Needs pulley on engine replaced, the pulley rattles and makes noise, bearings are worn out
Horn doesn't work because it was hooked up to the siren
No radio, of course
Has rust on roof from being parked under some shitty berry dropping tree that ate the paint away. Just little spots of rust.
When you hit the gas pedal you may shit yourself while accelerating
That's everything.
As stated above, everything listed above would only cost you $1,400, Tires, Repaint, Seat, Panels everything. All it REALLY needs is tires and an alignment if you don't care about the paint. So all it REALLY needs is ~$600.
You don't have to worry about the engine, or the transmission, or drivetrain, suspension, or any mechanical components.
Everything bad I listed can and will be fixed by me in less than 4 weekends if it doesn't sell now, and marked up to a price that you won't appreciate. It's just up here to see the interest in it in the shape that it's in, before I start getting my hands dirty. I will completely go all out on it if it doesn't go now. I have fixed up many, many, many cars in my short life. This is a drop in the bucket, a cakewalk to fix. I put it up dirty, disgusting, and I'll show you what you missed out on 30 days after it doesn't sell. Plenty of cash to burn, plenty of time to look for a clean used seat and door panels on the internet and Chicago junk yards.
Same condition and same era P-71's with 20,000-50,000 more miles are selling for $3,200-5,000+ on here under SOLD listings. My reserve is set where it needs to be, and I think it's fair. It's ready to go.

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.

As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
